Inside Austin Reaves’ 300-acre Arkansas farm before signing a $54,000,000 Lakers contract

Ever since he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers a few years ago, Austin Reaves has grown to be a fan favorite. He is an important member of the rotation as the Lakers get ready for the start of the regular season next week because of his exceptional three-point shooting and ability to provide something extra to the team’s style of play.

 

He did not, however, have an easy time becoming famous as a member of the 17-time NBA winners. Before signing with the Lakers in the summer of 2021, Reaves was not drafted.

 

Prior to that, he was raised on his mother’s 300-acre farm in Newark, Arkansas, and had to decide between farming and going into another line of work. The young guard didn’t want to become a farmer, despite the fact that his mother’s farm in Arkansas is remarkable. Below are a few pictures of the farm:
